# Shopify redirect chain checker

> Free Shopify redirect chain checker: paste one page address and see each redirect hop with its status code and the final page.
> Canonical: https://rabbot.ai/tools/redirect-chain-checker/

Paste one page from your Shopify store. Rabbot follows its redirects up to 5 hops on the same store, lists each with its status code, and reads the robots meta tag, the X-Robots-Tag header and the canonical tag. It is one visit, and nothing about the page is stored.

## Why redirect chains matter

Each redirect is a hop, and a run of hops is a chain.
Google follows up to 10 hops and advises pointing a redirect straight at the final address.
A chain that leads back to where it started is a loop, and the page never loads.
